The isolation of human embryonic stem cell lines in recent years has really generated a vast excitement among scientists and other people about the possibility of producing quantities of transplantable beta cells. Since then, more and more people have started considering using stem cells bank or a cord blood bank to store their children’s stem cells in case they become ill and get diseases like leukemia, diabetes or a cancer.

Robots of Fiction and Reality
Posted on August 14, 2009 by Andrew NewellAs any science fiction reader would know, there are a lot of discrepancies between what reality is and what is only in fiction. As science fiction is the branch of literature that delves most into what the future holds for us, science fiction stories serve as an intellectual forecast into the direction our technology is headed. Still, much remains to be accomplished.
Other Possible Applications of Robots

Miniaturized lasers can emit quantum light
Posted on August 8, 2009 by Shane EFor more than 100 years it has been known that light comes in small packages, the so-called photons. The discovery of this quantization of the light field has opened up a new field of physics - quantum optics.
Reservoir petrofacies: a tool for quality characterization and prediction
Posted on October 17, 2009 by ENDEEPERThe intrinsic quality of petroleum reservoirs (porosity, permeability) is controlled by depositional structures, textures and composition, by diagenetic processes and products (volume or intensity, habits and distribution), as well as by pore types and distribution. Reservoir petrofacies can be systematically defined by the combination of these attributes. The concept of reservoir petrofacies is useful and operational for the characterization of reservoirs and for the prediction of their quality
